Acknowledgement

I would like to thank John Elliott for granting his permission to adopt and adapt The Saanich Year for the Race Rocks Lesson Plans Website.

The Saanich Year is a resource developed in School District 63 (Saanich) about the thirteen moons of the Saanich Peoples. It was created in 1993, by Dave Elliott Sr., Earl Claxton, Sr. and John Elliott, and was funded by the Saanich Indian School Board, the British Columbia Ministry of Education ® Aboriginal Branch, and the Ministry Responsible for Multiculturalism and Human Rights (B.C).

The authors would like to honour the memory of Dave Elliott who recorded much of this information. His work in developing the SENCOTEN orthography enabled the authors to record and publish this material in book form, in the SENCOTEN language. We also acknowledge the work of the late Earl Claxton who did so much to further the teaching of the traditions of his people
